Can you show a pic of some of the definite pullers for contrast?I purchased 10 Black Australorp (day old) chicks from a local feed store 8 weeks ago. I purchased them as pullets. I’m afraid 3 of them are cockerels. Is it acceptable to ask the feed store to replace these with pullets or am I out of luck?

Based on my experience ................. Cockrel. Every Aust I had with A comb that big at 8 weeks was male. Show A picture of the back and tail feathers perhaps.I purchased 10 Black Australorp (day old) chicks from a local feed store 8 weeks ago. I purchased them as pullets.

Thank you so much, I’ll try again in a week.1 and 3 look like cockerels to me (not an expert in the breed; based on the development of my pullet); I think the middle one might be a pullet. My girl sent out a big ol comb first and then grew into it.
Maybe give them another week or two - and take new photos for folks to reassess. Ones where they're standing on their own from the side, above, and the face are the best way for folks to tell - because then we can see feathering, leg chonkiness, etc.
